Anything special about spider and Jupiter IDE?
Posted by MegaFocusDv@reddit | programming | View on Reddit | 8 comments
My university’s lab uses Spider as the IDE but I have been using vs code for so long and I think it’s better so I want to continue using it and they allow it. However, I have to know how to use those IDE’s. Is there anything that I know about them because I don’t want to get surprised at the lab.

In my own experience, these are often just used to get students introduced to python; and also it makes it easier to check / verify the answers and grade them, since you can go through the thing easily as supervisor. Other than for e. g. such courses, I don't use spider or any fancypants IDE myself. For me the real IDE is the commandline + linux in general and of course tons of scripts, aliases and what not to work with the code. Most IDEs are also making things more complicated than need be, in my opinion, but if you already know one very well, such as code, spider should not cause any issues.

Thanks, this was really helpful. I will keep using it :)

They especially suck

I think it depends.
I would not use spyder myself or jupyter, but both offer quite some convenience, especially in a lab with windows computers. I actually think jupyter in particular is quite cool; wish ruby would wake up and begin to compete against python ...

That spider is an animal and Spyder is the IDE

Now if there would be any programming language called after an animal! Or letters of the alphabet. Or rare metals/gems.
